'C'h'e Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part 0'!" the same.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, B. W. TUTHILL, of Oregon City, in the county of Olaokamas, and State of Oregon, have invented. a new and improved Hand-Truck; and I do hereby declare the" the following'is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being bad to the accompanying drawing, forming part of this specification.

The object of this invention is to construct the fi-anm-work of hand-trucks of metal tubes, preferably of gas-tubing, to be joined together in a cheap, simple, and inexpensive way, by which they can be made light, and readily taken apart for repairs.

Figure 1 represents a view, partly in plan and partly in section, of a truck constructed according to my improvements.

Figure 2 represents a longitudinal section of the same.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

I propose to make the side-bars A and transverse bars B of metal tubes, iron, brass, or steel, as pre ferred, joining them by making the ends of the transverse bars B concave, to fit the curvature of the side bars, and passing rods '0 through holes iii the sidebars and the bore of the transverse bars, screwing them up by nuts at the ends.

Or, by another plan, ipropose to make the side-bars in sections, and join them at the junction of the What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

Constructing the framing of hand-trucks of metallic tubes, A-B, substantially as herein described. B. \V. TUTHILL.
